I started by cutting a white card front down with the second largest of the Stitched Postage Frame Dies. In the centre of that panel, I die cut the word "celebrate" which comes from the Tag Die Layers Set.
On a white card base, I used the polka dot stencil from the A Sunny Hello Kit (which is still available for purchase!!), and Broken China Distress Ink. Before foam mounting the die cut panel, I inked a scrap piece of cardstock with the same ink and glued it behind the "celebrate". I wanted a solid colour so it was easy to read. I also stamped the "your day" in black ink which comes from the Just Because Stamp and Die Set.
I was actually going to leave the card like that!! But I decided it was a bit TOO clean and simple so I added some flowers from the A Beautiful Day Stamp and Die Set.
I used the Broken China Distress Ink to add the colour and also added some darker detail with a blue coloured pencil. The leaves come from the Stitched Pretty Flowers and Leaves Die Set which were inked with Crushed Olive Distress Ink.
A bit of glitter pen to the flowers and a few black gems finish this card off!!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!! I love it when you visit!!
See you soon!!
